Dog Friendly bedrooms

We understand that leaving your four legged companion in kennels or with friends when staying away from home can be a real wrench. That’s why at West Lodge Park we welcome well behaved dogs and have set aside three bedrooms especially for dog owners.

Bedroom 88 is a luxury bedroom with fantastic facilities in Chestnut Lodge. It has its own private terrace which has direct access out onto the grounds surrounding the hotel. With 35 acres to explore, your pooch will also be able to appreciate the benefits of this luxury four star retreat.

If you book your bedroom here you will be able to reserve the bedroom of your choice at no extra cost. This facility is not available if you book via third party sites or with offers other than our own. Please fill in the Special requests box with your choice of bedroom.

This is subject of course to our availability and to situations outside of our control such as guests wanting to extend their stay in a particular room.

The house rules are these :

We welcome well behaved dogs and their well-behaved owners in the luxury bedroom 88, executive room 70 and smaller double room 71 at West Lodge Park.

Bedroom 88 has its own private terrace outside, and a gate leading to the exterior of the hotel, and the hotel car park, while bedrooms 70 and 71 have direct access to the gardens and to the hotel car park.

Dogs remain the responsibility of the owners at all times.

Bedding, food, water, bowls etc remain the responsibility of the owners at all times and should be brought with you.

Dogs are not allowed in the main house of West Lodge Park (except guide dogs).

All mess to be cleaned up and removed.

Dogs of hotel residents to be kept on a lead at all times when in the Beale Arboretum.

No dogs of non-residents are permitted, except guide dogs.

A maximum of two well behaved dogs will be accepted in the room.

Dogs barking or disturbing other residents will be asked to be moved to the resident’s car or to leave the premises.

Any damage to the bedroom, bathroom, corridor or gardens will be chargeable via the pre-authorised credit card.

Any strong smells necessitating the putting off of the room for one or more nights will incur a charge equivalent to the lost room revenue for each night.

Hotel management decisions are final in respect of any issues arising from accommodating dogs in Chestnut Lodge and Cedar Lodge.

Dogs must be supervised at all times and can’t be left unattended

Well behaved dogs are permitted to sit with their hotel resident owners on the bar terrace

“One of the finest Country House Hotels in Hertfordshire.”

Greetings from all of us here at West Lodge Park – a 4 star luxury hotel in Hertfordshire.

Andrew Beale - Managing Director, Beales Hotels

My grandfather, Edward Beale, bought the hotel in 1945 and, over the years, my father Trevor and I have developed it into the lovely place it is today.

Our motto is ‘Generations of Excellence since 1769’, reflecting not only the long history of the company, but also the long service of many of our staff and the loyalty of our guests, many of whom have been coming as families over three or more generations to West Lodge Park.

We have been recently awarded the highest rating by the AA of any 4 star hotel in North London and Hertfordshire.
